Drake placed a huge $300,000 bet on Canada to defeat Argentina, which would have given him a $2.88 million payout.
However, Argentina defeated Canada 2-0, with goals from Julián Álvarez and Lionel Messi. The loss ended Canada’s magical run in their first Copa América in team history.
With the win, Argentina took a dig at Drake on their social media account with a picture of their squad accompanied by the caption, “Not like us, not with us.”
The caption is a nod to Kendrick Lamar’s Not Like Us, the popular diss track that attacks the Canadian rapper.
